Our Sticky Love starts a bit Cliché but turns out pretty wholesome
When I started this show, it was definitely giving a cliché, generic vibe. But as the show moved on I was again and again proven wrong.
First of all, Ahn Ha Young is damn gorgeous. Like she definitely has one of the unique faces you're gonna witness in this industry. Her beauty almost distracts you from the story at times.
Also, just got to learn that this is her first lead role as a female, and I can say she knocks it out of the park with her charming personality, perfect for the rom-com energy this drama needed.
She can act. Such a precious smile. But boy, was it hard watching her cry in monumental scenes. I Loved her work in "Teach You a Lesson" and was very eagerly looking forward to this project. And I can attest that the wait was worth it.
Secondly, coming to the male leads. I have loved Jung Hae-In's work in D.P. and Love Next Door. He's got the acting chops and manages to balance the nuances of the character from Gangster to Shy Boyfriend pretty effortlessly.
The bigger but a welcomed surprise was the villain here. Baek Sang-gil is not the usual antagonist provided with a tragic backstory just for the sake of the story, rather his character serves as a good example to the phrase "a product of the environment".
I also find it amusing that his character and Tae-Ha have almost the same line of events yet the path they choose draws a huge contrast between them, even though they are bound together through a cruel twist of fate.
Additional characters were so enjoyable. S.E.S Ladies especially have my heart. And his subordinate who joins the village later was also surprisingly funny. Glad that the doc and nurse made up at the end, haha.
The show never misses on its comedic beats, and always finds a way to deliver humor unexpectedly. The gentle taps on the back, whenever the characters hug are so cute. I have no idea if this was a thing for this show, or if it's a K-Drama thing, but I love it.
After the 10th episode, I was unsure of the ending and felt this might become another case of dragging the story which usually happens in various K-Dramas. Because by that episode, the story had reached a perfect closure.
But to my surprise the last two episodes were not just an extension of romantic leads having cute moments. Rather the story of the villain was simply not finished, and as we found out in the finale, he had a lot of baggage.
The show manages to wrap up the story in 12 episodes even with a deserved wedding scene by the end.
Tae-Ha doesn't hate rains now, as they don't remind him of his sorrowful days anymore rather he embraces it prioritizing his happiness for the first time.
Eun-Sae has a family now and no longer wishes for materialistic things to bring her happiness.
Wholesome ending. Long live the people of Taffy village.
